Only thing is to be sure you are drinking 8 × 8 oz water or more daily. You are likely dehydrated. If that's not the case for you, please go to your Dr. No sweating can be a hint at a bigger underlying issue.
You may be dehydrated. Also, people who are hypothyroid don't sweat well. Drink more water, exercise more, and raise your thermostat. If you still can't sweat, see your doctor. While it is common to stop sweating as much as we age, a sudden change is sometimes worrisome.
